Verbs Before Nouns Lyrics

Lyric discussion by MarcusH 

Cover art for Verbs Before Nouns lyrics by Matt & Kim

Sounds like it's about a relationship.

"We'll patch the holes and set sail on this town." "This ship it feels like home."

Sounds like they have some problems, maybe the girl was sleeping around??? Matt continually mentions that he "believes his eyes over his nose or ears". Either way it sounds like a relationship w/ some problems going on, but he wants to fix them and move on w/ her.
